skirting board airtightness

[Mr Blobby]

On the ground floor we have a few inches of airtight paint beneath the wet plaster covering the join between wall and floor.

On the first floor we have membrane (aka Tony tray) around hollowcore slabs and plastered into the wall above and below.

 

So far so good for airtightness. 🤞

 

But soon the fixing skirting boards will be fixed.  With nails.  This will of course make lots of nail holes through the (airtight) plaster into the blockwork.  Is this going to have a significant impact on airtightess?  And if so, is there a better way to fix the skirting?

Mine is all fixed with sticks like sh*t (other glues are available)  Why make nail holes that need to be filled before painting / staining?

 

But if nails are your preferred fixing method they are not an issue as long as the nails remain in place, they are filling the hole they have made.
